Summary

As he looked up and stared at the sky, his thoughts seemed to fall through the grates of the fire escape. He could pretend that the flickering light from the planes passing by were stars if he didn’t think too much about it. As if the light pollution hadn’t swallowed the whole of his visible universe.
He took a drag from the cigarette and sighed, dropping his gaze back ahead.

Summary

His eyes caught on a Styx album and he stepped forward, carefully sliding out from the shelf. As he took a step back, he bumped into someone and panic rushed down his spine. He whipped his head around, desperately looking for the victim of his negligence with wide eyes. He saw a man about the same height as him, clad in a suit far too sophisticated and gothic for this place, who was looking down with a raised eyebrow. “Sorry!” Will exclaimed. “That was totally my fault.”
“It is no problem,” the man said, his voice more of a rumble than anything else. “No harm done.”

Summary

As she digs through Piper’s bag, Annabeth thinks that really, if it weren’t for the whole captain thing, she and Piper could be really good friends. Even now, as the tension between them has risen to nearly incomprehensible levels, she can’t help the warmth she feels when Piper does something particularly spiteful. Honestly, most of the anger she feels at Piper’s antics is because she didn’t think of it first.

Summary

The idea came to Nico mid-brush stroke. He stopped, a streak of paint frozen in time. He had been trying to mix the correct shade of red for days and no matter how many times he mixed and remixed, it was never quite right. He needed blood red, something black in the moonlight but so violently red it couldn’t be anything else. His hand was steady even as a wicked cocktail of thrill and horror raced up his spine. He didn’t need paint to mimic blood, he needed blood.

Summary

A door swings open further down the hall, revealing a cluttered bathroom counter and a mirror plastered with stickers.
"I brush teeth!" Chirps a small voice with just a hint of a lisp, turning 'teeth' to 'teef'. There's a patter of socked feet on the tile floor, and then there he is.
The sight punches the air from Castiel's lungs, the empty space filing with the purest joy he's felt in a long time, because Jack is so… little. So wonderfully, perfectly little. Young like the baby he never got to be, the life Castiel had imagined for him and grieved a hundred times over as he watched him forced to grow up too fast.

Summary

“I think I’m stuck.”
Eddie laid his hand over the strings of his guitar to stop the cord, leaning over the edge of the bed to look down at him.
“Metaphorically,” Steve clarified.
“I’m gonna need a little more than that, baby.”
Steve sighed, leaning back against the edge of the bed. “I don’t want to work minimum wage or climb the corporate ladder or whatever, I want… I want something that makes me feel the way you do when you’re on stage. I want to feel like it means something that I’m still kicking.”
“What do you want to do?”
“You’re gonna laugh.”
“You planning on becoming a comedian?”
“Eds.”
“Stevie.”

Soulmate AU where soulmarks don't turn until the person actually loves you, rather than upon meeting. Unturned marks are just ink until the person who loves you touches them and turns them into bright, colorful tattoos. Or a character study on Steve, the people he loves, and the people who love him.

Summary

Eddie doesn’t like showing it when he’s scared. Wayne always knows, though. He knew every time Eddie appeared on his doorstep with no warning, small and trembling with a dirty, oversized backpack packed with snacks and worn stuffed animals. He knew when Eddie was taller, a little bit too skinny and too tough for his age, when his dad finally ended up in prison and the government finally let Wayne's kid be his kid. He knew when Eddie was in middle school, friendless and angry and paranoid, when Wayne stumbled upon a stash of porno mags while he was looking for drugs.
So he knows now.

Summary

“Let’s get this over with.” Steve mutters, setting his shoulders and planting his feet.
Out of the corner of his eye, Gareth can see that Wayne is watching their standoff with a calculating expression.
“We’re airing this out and moving on. And we are going to do it before Eddie gets home.” Harrington states with a finality that sets Gareth’s teeth grinding. As if Steve is the one who’s more concerned about their friend’s feelings than Gareth is at this point.
Or
Gareth has had just about enough of Steve Harrington in the fall of '86. He sets about to do something about it. It takes an angry mob, a Corroded Coffin gig and a baseball bat full of nails for him to change his mind.
Gareth gets mad, Eddie gets beat up, Steve gets violent and Wayne is just really tired of everyone's shit.

Summary

“All of my lines are original and trademarked, Harrington, I won’t be accused of theft like some common song writer,” Munson says haughtily, and ruins it a second later by choking on a laugh. “My lawyers will get in touch with your lawyers. That’s how you sue someone, right?”
“How are you gonna sue if all your assets are shared?” Wheeler asks with a teasing smile as she turns back around.
Tommy’s not sure how to feel about being so invisible.
